There’s a big difference between cheap furnace repair and affordable furnace repair!
When you need furnace repair services, we understand price is important to you. But if the price is too low, it can lead to more costs.
Here are a few of the reasons why price should not be your only consideration in choosing a furnace repair or installation service:
Improper Repairs
Companies with reasonable prices far below the market average often cut corners regarding employee training and certification or quality parts and equipment. This can result in poorly executed repairs that will not solve your original problem and may even cause new issues to develop with your heating system.
Return Visits
Many low-cost contractors do not guarantee their furnace repair work. So when you have to call the company back several times to solve the same problem, you are shouldered with the burden of the extra expense and wasted time. That’s not precisely affordable furnace repair!
Poor Advice
A reputable service company takes pride in educating its customers on maintaining their furnaces and related systems to prevent problems, know when service is needed, and make their homes more energy efficient. Unfortunately, technicians from low-cost contractors may not have the training, experience, and knowledge to offer this advice. Less scrupulous companies may even try to steer customers in the wrong direction to make more money.
No Guarantee of Follow-up Support
Even the best HVAC system occasionally needs service and repair. When this situation arises, you need to know the company performing the installation or repairs will be there for support later on. Unfortunately, suppose you choose a low-cost contractor. In that case, you are taking a risk the company will not be around to support the warranty on the equipment or that shoddy artistry many even negate part of your manufacturer’s warranty, leaving you to pay the cost of the repairs.
Choosing a cheap furnace repair contractor will often cost you more in the long run when you consider repeated service calls, system breakdowns, and increased utility bills.
Instead of cheap, think affordable furnace repair!
Tips for Choosing a Furnace Repair Company
Your family’s comfort depends on finding a skilled technician to diagnose and repair your furnace problem. The following guide can help you narrow the field.
- Look for a licensed and bonded company that offers technicians with years of experience in the industry.
- Take the time to check out the company’s online customer reviews. It is also a good idea to ask for customer references you can contact about their experience.
- Contact the Better Business Bureau to see if the company has a pattern of complaints.
- Ask for in-person estimates from multiple contractors.
- Ensure all estimates are in writing and provide a detailed breakdown of all charges.
- If one estimate is significantly higher or lower than the others, ask the contractor for a justification. If the reason does not make sense, it is best to walk away.
- Ensure all work is guaranteed and all equipment has a warranty.
- Ensure all warranties and guarantees are in writing, and the service contract clearly outlines your options if you are dissatisfied or have a problem.
